Paul has given the formula before, with the original numbers of the post.
With the ones here the formula is:
=DEGREES(ATAN(596.96/115.74))
Type this in a cell and you will get the result you expect.

This helped some, but I still need the azimuth. When I put it into a
calculator, these are the steps I use.596.96/115.74=5.15777, then I cotangent
5.15777=79.0275 which is the azimuth. Now how do I put this into excel?

cotangent is the "old way" of saying Tan-1,ie the tangent who's angle is
=degrees(atan(896.96/115.74)) =82.647
